Relationship Counselling for Burgess Hill

Burgess Hill is a busy Mid Sussex town with good rail links and the green spaces of its Green Circle walk. If St John's Park, the Green Circle and Bedelands Nature Reserve are part of your daily life, my counselling room in nearby Hove is an easy, discreet place to begin.

My counselling room is at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. From Burgess Hill a direct train reaches Hove and Brighton in around twenty minutes, or it is a half-hour drive south. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.

Nearby, I also offer Relationship Counselling in Haywards Heath, Hassocks, Ditchling.

So whether you are searching for relationship counselling near you in Burgess Hill, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.

How I work

Here's how the work itself tends to unfold. My approach is integrative and person-centred. We are not looking for someone to blame, but at the system the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, drawing on relational therapy, Internal Family Systems and Human Givens approaches.

Asking for help from Burgess Hill can feel like a big move. I aim to make that first contact easy and unhurried, with no pressure and no judgement, whatever brings you.

You can read more about relationship counselling and about my methods, sessions and fees. There is no obligation: we begin with a free fifteen minute call to see whether we are the right fit.

Start the conversation

Finding support in Burgess Hill

My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Burgess Hill, you can refer yourself directly to NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.

Seeing me privately usually means you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have. If you are waiting for NHS therapy, beginning privately can be a way to make a start now rather than putting things off, and we can always work in whatever way fits best alongside what is already in place.

If you need urgent help now

This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.

For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
